Rachel Susan (Poe) Brewer went to be with the Lord on Sept. 16, 2011. She was born Oct. 21, 1942, during a blackout in Two Rivers, Wis., to Lenny and Trudy Poe. She loved her childhood in Two Rivers — her family, her playmates and her adventures in the woods behind her home.
In December 1951, when Rachel was 9, her family moved to Inglewood, where her dad worked in the aerospace industry. She graduated from Inglewood High School in 1960, studied voice with Madame Burnet and went on to El Camino College. While doing clerical work in LA, Rachel enjoyed folk dancing and singing in Kathryn Kuhlman's choir at the Shrine Auditorium.
In the early '70s, Rachel moved to the Morongo Basin, where her mom, a sister, nieces and a nephew lived. She found employment at the Red Baron and Colony Kitchen restaurants as a bookkeeper, the Hi-Desert Star in advertising and then the Morongo Unified School District office.
Rachel married Jonathan Brewer in 1981 and helped him with the churches he pastored, working with children and music. After he left full-time ministry, she played piano and organ for various churches, including Joshua Tree United Methodist Church, Immanuel Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, St. Joseph of Arimathea Episcopal Church, Desert Hills Presbyterian Church, Desert Christian Fellowship and Living Springs Christian Center, as well as led praise and worship for the Yucca Valley Women's Agape.
Rachel loved her dogs, her plants and trees and the beauty of nature. She loved to help others and most of all to sing and play songs of praise and worship to Jesus Christ.
A celebration of Rachel Brewer's life will take place at 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at First Baptist Church of Johnson Valley, 50636 Golden Ray Road (at the end of Larrea) in Johnson Valley. She will be buried privately in Twentynine Palms.
